Senior Ministers

Jon & Emma Oertel

Jon and Emma are passionate about the local church and partnering with the Great Commission to “go and make disciples” (Matthew 28). Their heart is to see the church grow through Spirit-filled worship services, strong and supportive relationships within connect groups, and by empowering people to serve God and live lives that reflect Jesus.

Having grown up in C3 Adelaide Hills, Jon and Emma have faithfully served under the leadership of Founding Pastors Bruce and Julie as location pastors, connect group leaders, youth leaders, and members of the worship team. Jon carries a passion for moving in the Spirit, while Emma has a deep love for worship. They love seeing people grow in their faith, experience His peace and live a life anchored in the hope Jesus gives.

Married for 19 years, they are blessed with four young children and love living and serving in the Adelaide Hills. Jon and Emma are committed to creating opportunities for people to see and feel God, so lives can be transformed and the community impacted, as people share Jesus with those around them.
